Hm... can't really recall my sponsors to be honest, apart from my last one, 
Jordan (CC'd). If non-sponsors also count, see other msgs in this thread.

[1]. Little bit outdated though (e.g. I'm 29 now).

Make Ubuntu better by e.g. fixing bugs as I stumble upon them, and have the 
knowledge to fix it. I guess I won't find the time to provide much more than 
a little help, and hence don't have big plans for main. Also I'm not too much 
interested in the big window managers, in case you're wondering.

As an example, I would e.g. fix #226156 (just not right now, as I'm at work), 
maybe that can give you an impression what I'm up to.

Hm... examples. I guess I'll point out two examples of contributions to Ubuntu 
I'm particular proud of:

1) Together with Steve Langasek, I held a motu school session about library 
packaging [2]. Spreading on knowledge is s.th. I'm generally always 
interested in.

2) I took (and still take) care for the haskell tool chain in Ubuntu since 
IIRC dapper. (To be clear: I mean toolchain... I wouldn't have managed e.g. 
the ever growing number of haskell libraries for hardy single-handedly, but 
fortunately Michael did rocking work there).

Just ask ;).

Cheers,
    Stefan.
